There is no harm if a person comes here to grow his account, earn merits and at the same time keep on learning and get knowledge of bitcoins, different wallets, technical stuff and everything related to the cryptocurrencies. Also I did not find this model of earning and learning at the same time on any other forum other than Bitcointalk.
This is one in all forum where you will get everything you will need, not only you're trader, investor or belong to the gambling industry , this forum is for you. Another interesting thing about this forum is that here you will find a lot of activity or lot of active people posting their view points and also you will get each and every information about mining , the technical stuffs and so much more.
Seriously, these are the things that make the forum unique from other sites or media platforms. We know how interesting it can be even as a student when you are learning and still earning again. The forum gives that opportunity to learn, offer your services as well as earning in the forum. The introduction of merits system makes it more reliable in terms of giving out useful information. Since everyone wants to earn merit by offering useful and legit information.
I believe without the forum, there might be another alternative but since Forum is still here, none can compete with it. One interesting aspect in this forum is the fact that it cover almost all every aspects of our society and technology. If you are fan of politics, Forum got you covered. Economic expert? Forum is here for you. Gambling, marketing and any other area you can think of. There's no single day you'll come here without learning one or two things.
